And there are plenty more to mention, starting with the live resurrection of another great album: for their coming club outing, the Psychedelic Furs will perform in its entirety their 1981 post-punk milestone Talk Talk Talk, one of the best works of its decade. The “evening with” encounter (translation: no opener) happens April 28 at House of Blues Anaheim, $25 for general, $37.50-$47.50 for loge stools and pew seating; and again April 30 at the Music Box in Hollywood, $28. Both shows go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

Meanwhile, another titan of that era, Echo & the Bunnymen, will return the following month to play May 21 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, $33- $42.50, and May 22 at the Mouse House, $30-$57.50. Kelley Stoltz will open. Those tickets also go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

The L.A. Live venue, however, also has some primo country shows planned. The CMA Songwriter Series will team Chris Young with Gretchen Wilson on Feb. 15, $25-$40, while the Jagermeister Country Tour, featuring Dierks Bentley with Josh Thompson, arrives on April 1, $35-$45. Both of those go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
